Picture this: It’s 4:00 AM, and you’re beginning your shift as a tanker driver on the outskirts of Clovis, New Mexico. Today, you’re hauling 6,000 gallons of raw milk. Because food-grade tankers are smooth-bore to ensure total sanitation, they lack internal baffles to break up the movement of the liquid. This causes an increased risk of surge, but you’re trained as a professional driver to manage it effectively. After performing the pre-trip inspection, you pull onto the open highway, heading for the largest dairy manufacturing plant in Roswell.

If this scenario sounds like your dream career, now is the time to make it happen. Begin your learning phase today and study the official Commercial Driver License Manual (New Mexico CDL Handbook 2026). This comprehensive resource will teach you commercial driving theory, a subject every tanker driver must be an expert in. Our Free New Mexico CDL Permit Practice Test closely reflects the content and format of the official general knowledge exam. You can use this intuitive tool to study efficiently and achieve a passing score on your first attempt.

About the New Mexico CDL

Liquid cargo handling, surge management, and tanker vehicle safety practices are some of the topics discussed in Section 8 (Tank Vehicles) of the official commercial driver’s license manual. Your knowledge of this subject will be evaluated through 20 multiple-choice questions on the official Tank Vehicles knowledge test. You must score 80% or higher to pass, leaving little room for error. To help you prepare for this exam, we have created a series of New Mexico CDL Tanker Vehicles Knowledge Tests. The practice test that you’re about to take is the second in this series. It is available 24/7, so you can train with it anytime, anywhere in the world.

Your personal Challenge Bank™ automatically stores the questions you answer incorrectly so that you can practice with them later. Premium users can use the bookmark icon in the top-right corner of the page to add any question to this section. We recommend visiting your Challenge Bank at the end of your study sessions to review your mistakes and learn from them.

Your dream career is within reach, but it may take you several months to complete your learning phase and the licensing process. Our practice tests can help shorten this period by boosting your learning potential. Start your first practice session today and improve your knowledge one question at a time.
